Thanks for watching...

Dear Peter, thank you for taking the time to review my watches and for the feedback! Concerning the steel bezel, It was a design choice, I feel these are mostly elegant divers that you can use as your daily watch instead of a toolish watch. But indeed it someone really needs lume on bezel you have the black or red version, cheers!

You’re absolutely right about the need for on-the-fly adjustment. I got a Chris Ward recently because of this feature. Here in Florida, wrist fluctuation is a fact of life and the right clasp can make that a non issue.

Man, this is a refreshing, well thought out design. I reeeally like it. Having the base of the hands black allows them to have a bit of a floating look on the colored portion. This really stands out on the black/meteorite dial and pops. I also like the outer ring of the meteorite dial having a stainless appearance too. So torn right now on picking one of these up. I'd also love to see it in titanium case, but that's being picky. @Direnzo watches- great job on these. You're making me consider selling something else from my collection to acquire one of these. :)

Especially the white one is just lovely! Besides, can't rate Sergio's customer service high enough. I like no date watches but with a date complication this well incorporated I'd pick the date version.

Well, well! Those Direnzo watches are so nice!
I saw the DRZ02 on your channel and I’m in LOVE with them ever since 😍
Thanks for sharing!

Thank you PK for helping me make a decision -- white dial it will be! I have wanted an Eclipse since I first saw one but could not find one in the after market so getting a new one is an even better outcome. Yours is the first review of the new version that I have seen. I do enjoy your content!

[JonathanTReviews]

Nice review buddy! Solid points all the way around. I received a similarly contrasting pair and enjoyed the unique character of each. Direnzo has easily become one of my favorite brands. Cheers

[gwatson]

Lovely design. I'm drawn to this style of watch with a white dial and steel bezel. The white dial is my favorite of the two. 👍

[paulhiggins]

I just watch a review on a Nomos and these watches knock spots of them, love the design so refreshing to see and at a great price. This is one of the reasons I like micro brands, they think outside the box
Great review Pete 👍

Got the "Blood Moon" red one from Kickstarter, and my only issues were the nasty clasp and lume being not very good, so glad to see that both look better. Seriously considering one,

[david]

Yeah for sure the white dial to me is the winner! Good idea with putting an orange band on it…super cool.

[kwanmartin]

I notice that the watches you share look much more attractive (and grand) than depicted in other videos by others (including the official ones). I suppose it's about your exceptional photography skills.

I wish Direnzo considers making their logo applied not printed. I like Direnzo design and quality and bracelet. A lumed pip at 12 o'clock and applied logo would make the white one perfect.

Got the original and love how the seconds hand masks the date in an eclipse. Been eyeing the meteorite version..hope I can get to it before it sells out. White is my second option but perhaps a black bezel insert would make it less pale overall, not sure.

[stuartheyburn]

Quite like the black version, that bright red pop against the black is not a colour combo you see enough off these days.
Agree with all the on the fly adjustment comments.👍

[Csibu]

On the fly - toolless microadjustment on the clasp and a more pronounced 3-4mm taper on the bracelet would have made this a much better desk-diver. But it is quite a nice unique design and an incredible value package still.

[jaybrockmeyer]

Like their watches, and the no date option ! The closed case backs are a major disappointment, especially at this price range. When they begin to use exhibition case backs, I'll take a second look, but not until then.

[thegorn]

2:55 "6 micro adjustments"... but there's 5 holes. No matter what your starting hole, there's only ever 4 other positions to go to, so technically only 4 micro adjustments.

[finesse]

I don't understand why some companies put useless bezels on their watches.

[brafman]

While an on the fly bracelet adjustment would be nice, that is not common or standard on watches under US $1000, even for microbrands, so I'm surprised you harped on it so much.
